Hey guys Just wondering if I can hook just the battery up to the red and green wires of my engine to test run it? I have the Pamco and I'm wondering if there is anything else I need to include? It is kick only so I have no need to wire in a starter.

I need help, bad. I just "finished" my first build. It's an '82 Heritage. I started taking it out for short rides and began not getting it to be able to start. I cleaned the carbs thoroughly 3 times, and finally was able to get it to start after putting in new spark plugs. It ran good for...

when i bought this '75 motor and frame it hadnt been run in a long long time. Shifts through gears alright and the kick arm goes through nice. Just wondering if i can start her up with just a battery and coils to see if it runs or will i need the reg/rec connected just to test the motor. Im...

Where do you get your gaskets?? Just Mikes? I HATE having to buy gaskets, Its the worst so i am looking for the cheapest but still good quality around. I'm in Australia by the way but im sure the cheapest would still be in the US.

Was wondering, some of you all who have lots of experience with choppers and/or hardtailed bobbers (whether XS or another kind): have you seen a frame actually break? what was the weak spot? Just wondering what kind of stuff, or what points would be most vulnerable. I mean I know it would...

I am looking for a very small style ignition, The stock one i have is too long to be placed where i want it due to the chain being so close to it (chain whip). Anyhoo im wondering what some of you all have ran to keep it outta site, I even thought of just runing a hidden three way switch but...

At the risk of not being cool (being sarcastic) I want to add turn signals to my bobber, at least on the rear. Just wanted to see who else has them, post up some pics if you do, and how did you go about mounting them...I want to do something that can be removed if I decide to and not have to...

Hey guys. My 80 has a flathead screw on top of the forks and from what I've read these are for adjusting the forks. How ? The info isn't in my manuals and I cant find any here. Turning them which way does what ? How much of a difference do they make ? Thanks in advance for any info given.

hey everyone, new guy here. so, i hate beating a dead horse but i too have a charging problem. ive searched the tech help, other peoples threads, etc. but no one seems to have the same issue i do. when the brown wire from my brush/rotor assembly is connected to the brown wire from my reg/rec...

My very first bike!!!! I am mechanically inclined but not much experience and no training in working on cars or bikes. I always try to figure out and fix issues before I turn to a mechanic and so far it has paid off...I want to continue that with my new bike. So I am sure I'll be asking lots of...

type of spray gun for a beginner that thinks he will want to get serious with it later. I am on Holiday in the US and i thought i might try and pick up a decent gun here before i go just because theyre abit cheaper than back home. I looked on the Home depot website for Canada cause im in...
